Selena Gomez's Dramatic Makeover — Debuts New Shorter Hair
Has Selena Gomez gotten a big chop? 'The Heart Wants What It Wants' singer posted a selfie on Jan. 22 showing off her new shoulder length layers! Get into her look below.
After a break up, some women find a new guy, others write a song, and many make a drastic change to their hair. Selena Gomez, 22, has done all three! She puckered up for a closeup pic on Jan. 22 and debuted a new hair cut! What do you think about her look?
Selena Gomez's Haircut: Debuts Short Hair Makeover On Instagram
Selena promised she would be starting fresh this year, so maybe that means her hair too!
After recently sharing a pic to her Instagram of her wet hair falling to bra strap length, it looks like Selena's decided to get rid of a few inches. This style is so cool on Selena, and the new short layers add tons of volume and even mature her look. Could she be getting sexy for Zedd?
Selena Gomez's Haircut & More Celebs With Drastic Makeovers
It also looks like Selena's got some bang action going on as well — which we think is totally awesome.
Selena might have changed up her look a little with bangs and layers, but there are plenty of celebs who can never stay still when it comes to one hairstyle!
We've watched Rihanna wear countless haircuts and Katy Perry isn't afraid of a good dye job.
Jennifer Lopez has fun experimenting with different hairstyles and we literally never know how Kylie Jenner's hair will look next!
So, we guess Selena is a little conservative with her hair in comparison.
We love this look on Selena and we hope that she'll let it stay a while! What do you think of her new layered tresses? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Oh GURL. Trust me don't get me started on that. I'm a Catholic too and I believe in my God but I think people take it WAYYYYYY too far. I worked in a Christian church for over two years and trust me there was a whole lot of greed and sinning going on in there.
Just don't let 'em get to you. Keep on keeping on. And remember that God loves when you do good.
My Christian friend told me "Being good and doing good isn't a one way ticket to heaven" and I'm all "Well neither is praying and preaching and reading the bible all the while being a damn hypocrite so shut the fuck up."
Oh Lord, don't get me started (yes I said that already).

In our first episode of Ask Dr. Amy on the Romance Broadcasting Network, two women submit provocative questions about their relationships. One woman, "Janet," has a live-in boyfriend who is dodging the question of marriage due to his own parents' divorce, and another woman, "Marilyn," is in a torrid, but troubled, sexual relationship with a "sexually appealing jerk." (Names are changed, of course!)
For "Janet" and her boyfriend, couple's counseling is a must. But I also suggested taking a good, long-range look at her future and the kind of life she wants, and considering if this particular man is really going to make her happy. And, as she is so keen on marriage, I also suggested reading some good books for woman about divorce – so she'd understand what happens when a marriage ends. Frankly, I think that's a good thing for any couple to do, prior to marriage, as a kind of reality check.
On the other hand, Prep.inc is a great place to find resources for successful, long-term relationships. I'm a strong advocate of "marriage education" and "couple's communication" classes and I teach them myself, as a trained PREP leader. In fact, I even teach them online!
Two-hour introductory Secrets of Successful Couples class (recorded, self-paced) for $19.95.
Six-hour Secrets of Successful Couples class (recorded, self-paced) for $69.95.
Both these courses require a separate purchase of the PREP 7.0 Participants Manual (PR 4) for $11.00. Scroll down to the "Participant Materials" on this page to preview and order.
Secrets of Successful Couples, based on the PREP 7.0 marriage education course, is a great way to learn communiation skills, a few simple conflict resolution techniques, and other ways to support and enrich a relationship. The manual is a great way to think through and ease communication about topics which are often difficult for couples to address.
For divorce books, I recommend checking out such titles as Fair Share Divorce for Women, Second Edition: The Definitive Guide to Creating a Winning Solution by Kathleen Miller or What Every Woman Should Know About Divorce and Custody (Rev): Judges, Lawyers, and Therapists Share Winning Strategies onHow toKeep the Kids, the Cash, and Your Sanity by Gayle Rosenwald Smith J.D. and Sally Abrahms. There are many titles to choose. Understand the laws in your state, before you commit to a legal relationship.
"Marilyn" was dealing with an entirely different situation – a hot lover with a lot of (bad) attitude. "Marilyn" described a situation where their sexual chemistry was off the charts, but so was the conflict. It was hard to know whether she was simply dealing with a "sexually appealing jerk," who would eventually lose his charm, or if she was entangled with a potential abuser. I gave advice for both potential scenarios.
I asked her to consider the level of their disagreements, questioned whether matters were escalating and getting physical, if he was controlling, and so on. I recommended that she check out the danger signs of a potential abuser and the cycles of domestic violence and get help immediately if she needs it.
On the other hand, if this is not an abusive relationship, but simply consists of low level – but not serious – disagreement, I suggested she simply leave after sex and make no effort to include this man in the rest of her life.

"The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop" ratings are continuing to decline.
According to Nielsen Korea, KBS weekend drama "The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop" rated 32.1%.
This is 5.7% higher than the average of 26.4% from the past 45 episodes. However, it's believed that there are more complaints due to the mix of sweet and sour controversial storyline.
Meanwhile, MBC "Blow Breeze" rated 18.3% and "Father, I'll Take Care of You" rated 12.4%.

Being well and happy is an aspiration that we all have and there is mounting evidence that proves that living a full and active life is really important for our physical and mental health.
At Halifax Opportunities Trust we provide lots of activities for local people to enhance their wellbeing including arts, crafts, healthy eating, volunteering and social groups. We run some of these activities ourselves and we also enable local people to set up their own social groups based on their interests, hobbies and passions.
We have a practical workshop based at our Enterprise Centre at Hanson Lane, with a range of tools which can be used to create, make and mend all sorts of useful objects or decorative items. We use the beautiful Outback Garden just over the road from Hanson Lane for cooking, leisure and learning activities. It is also a calm space where local residents can simply sit and enjoy nature or do a bit of gardening if something more energetic appeals.
Finally we are passionate about good food at the Trust! We have a 5-star rated manufacturing kitchen which is currently used to produce meals for local primary schools and from which we hope to develop a meals on wheels service later in 2018. Aaron, our chef at the Outfront Kitchen, also loves working with parents and children to teach how to make easy, nutritional food and we run sessions throughout the year at our Children's Centres and the Outback to pass on essential and advanced cooking skills.

There is something so right about being in New Haven, Connecticut, in the month of October. The leaves are turning into a wash of beautiful colors and standing among them is the very stately Peabody Museum of Natural History, nestled in the Yale University campus. This particular October held a special meaning as it was the 150th anniversary of the establishing of this fine institution. On the very weekend of the celebration (21–22 October 2016), there was a special mineral symposium held in the newly constructed and unveiled David Friend Hall.
David Friend is a passionate collector who had a vision of continuing the good work done at the Peabody and so created the way to build this fine addition where, at one time, an auditorium stood. He had a dream of a newly designed hall with beautifully lit cabinets to show off the mammoth-sized minerals from places such as China, Namibia, and France and the smaller pieces known as "thumbnails" in a cabinet of their own. Contemporary pieces are neatly displayed as are beautiful and rare gemstones and jewelry. There is even a wall of over two hundred fossilized fish with a palm frond.
Gail Copus Spann and her husband, Jim, are collectors of fine minerals from worldwide localities and have immersed themselves in the hobby during the past twelve years.

Departments and Ministries
Family Ministries
Dear Dr. Smith
I am currently in a marriage that was established for the wrong reasons. My husband and I had a relationship prior to getting married, however, shortly after the marriage it all fell apart. My husband is a recovering sex addict who has made numerous attempts to overcome, but have not been successful to date. Myself have many issues that may have plagued our marriage and/or heightened his most recent failure of overcoming his addiction.
Currently we do not see eye to eye on anything. He his convinced that there is no future between us and I am beginning to believe. I do know I need to seek professional help for various mental, emotional, and physiological reasons. I intend on doing this by myself, because I do not want the focus to be on my husband and his issues but primarily myself and my issues and how to deal with the reality of a failed marriage.
How do I pursue this? Do I seek a marriage therapist or should I seek a psychotherapist to deal with my individual need?
P.S. I want to really focus on me, my issues, the mistake I made by entering this marriage rather than us, the married couple that did things wrong.
Sincerely: Angry, Resentful and Bitter
Dear Angry, Resentful and Bitter,
You did not say what were the wrong reasons your marriage was established for, however, you did state some pressing problems you are both having. Let me attempt to address each one separately.
1. My husband and I had a relationship prior to getting married. When you say, "had a relationship prior to getting married," am I to assume that you mean sexual relationship? Because one must have a friendship relationship before getting married (except for child marriages, arranged marriages or forced marriages). If my assumption is true, in their lies half of your marital problems. Pre-marital couples don't realize that when they start drinking the honey before the honeymoon it has miserable implications later. That's why shortly after marriage yours all fell apart. God's word is to be taken seriously.
2. My husband is a recovering sex addict. When did you find this out, before or after marriage? Either answer puts you in a bad light, if before! What is your problem now? If after, then it means you did not do careful pre-marital counseling, because this would have come up in the sessions.
3. He is unsuccessful in overcoming his addiction. Where did he go for treatment and for how long? A sex addict is just as dependent as a drug, alcohol, etc., is dependent. They need professional treatment to break the dysfunction.
4. I myself have many issues that may have plagued our marriage. Your honesty is helpful; it is the first step towards healing. Your second step is to get professional help. Please do not cheat on your self; you must develop your best self.
5. Currently we do not see eye to eye on anything. Join the club of dysfunctional marriages, what else is new? Of course it will be difficult for both of you to see eye to eye, when you both have wounds and baggage. The prophet Amos asked the poignant question, "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3.
6. No future between us. If you both continue on this path, then yes, it will be a matter of self-fulfilling prophecy. Kindly remember, however, that a divorce of this nature may not fulfill the legal requirements of the moral law of God, unless his addiction to sex caused him to be unfaithful.
7. Indevidual or Marriage Counseling. You cannot have one without the other; you both need individual counseling as well as marriage counseling. You should regard the marital problems as critical and to leave them un-addressed, will only frustrate any attempt to become individually whole.
I pray that you both will do the right thing, that is, get professional help, and save the marriage. Remember, God does hate divorce, not the individuals, but the act of divorcing.
God bless,
Dr. Smith.

Walgreens pledges to help seniors with Medicare enrollment
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens will be offering free, personalized Part D plan comparison reports to help beneficiaries identify the plan that best meets their prescription drug needs, the retail pharmacy operator announced Monday. Plan reviews are available on a walk-in basis or by scheduling an appointment at Walgreens.com/medicare, Walgreens stated.
"The Medicare landscape can be challenging to navigate, and our pharmacists are trusted resources who can help beneficiaries understand their options to make the most informed plan choice," stated Suzanne Hansen, Walgreens group VP pharmacy operations. "Prescription drug coverage is often times critical for those selecting new plans or evaluating their current plan. It's helpful for Medicare beneficiaries to understand some of the ways to save on prescription costs through the use of preferred pharmacy networks or other means."
Walgreens is working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and others to help Medicare beneficiaries learn about new benefits available to them under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Walgreens is providing customers a range of educational materials on newly available preventive services, as well as ways to save on prescription drug spending in the "doughnut hole," or coverage gap.
In addition, all Take Care Clinics located at select Walgreens are now offering the "Welcome to Medicare Preventive Visit" and "Medicare Yearly Wellness Visits." These wellness services are for Medicare enrollees and include screenings for a number of common conditions, as well as education and counseling to encourage wellness and prevent disease.
Plan comparison reports, available daily at all of the nearly 8,000 Walgreens stores nationwide, are generated from Medicare's online plan finder. The report details each plan's estimated annual costs, including monthly premiums, brand and generic co-pays and coverage through the coverage gap.
Walgreens last week announced it will be a part of preferred pharmacy networks of four national Medicare Part D plan sponsors — Coventry, Humana, SmartD Rx and UnitedHealthcare. In addition to participating in the preferred networks, Walgreens will also be in the network of hundreds of other Medicare prescription drug plans for 2013.

Blurred lines between channels and better HBA options will continue to drive dollar store growth
WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT — It appears that even when the economy gets back to humming on all cylinders that America's shopping patterns will have been forever changed, and that's only going to support dollar store growth for years to come. Clearly, the two biggest competitors in Family Dollar and Dollar General are ramping up store growth all over the country, with the two companies lining up on opposite corners much the way drug chains began had done in the '80s and '90s. And dollar store assortments will continue to become better stocked with the name brands consumers are familiar with, particularly in core drug store categories like health and beauty, especially considering the two leading companies have strong drug channel pedigrees throughout the executive suite.
(THE NEWS: Deloitte: CPG companies not keeping up with explosive growth of dollar channel. For the full story, click here.)
Just last week, during an Oct. 3 conference call, former drug channel merchant and now Family Dollar president and COO Mike Bloom pointed to the expansion of health, beauty and personal care assortments by about 600 SKUs as one of the key drivers of future growth across the chain. "Our customers are really responding well to the new assortment," he said. "The biggest focus of our recent HBA expansion was in the OTC area. Our customer research indicates that our customers overindexed in 18 of the top 20 ailments affecting the U.S. population. Many of our customers do not have health insurance, so we are providing them with more solutions to take care of themselves and their families. We are encouraged by the early results in these categories, which typically take longer to ramp up."
Family Dollar's executive chairman and CEO Howard Levine added, "As we look out over the next couple years, particularly with the healthcare changes coming on, it's something that we'll pay a lot of attention to in terms of how we may be able to better service some of the markets that we're in with some additional benefits."
But it's Dollar General that may be offering the greatest branded savings to consumers, at least according to a recent Kantar survey. As compared to Walmart, Stop & Shop, Family Dollar, Aldi, Target and Walgreens, Dollar General offered an 18% overall basket savings, driven by lower opening price points in its edible and nonedible baskets and representing a substantial savings to the value shopper, which by the time the economy gets back humming again on all cylinders is likely to be the everyday shopper.
I visit this first time & it has a very valuable information. & some decent design as well. I would like to appreciate writer's nice effort on topic Blurred lines between channels and better HBA options will continue to drive dollar store growth. Wish u best of luck,, keep on posting

By: Ethan A. Huff,
A virus responsible for killing some 800 bottlenose dolphins off the mid-Atlantic coast back in August is believed to now be affecting whales, according to new reports. Experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believe that at least four humpback whales and one pygmy sperm whale that have also turned up dead in the same area since July may have been stricken with cetacean morbillivirus, a viral disease that closely mimics measles in humans.
The Washington Post (WP) reports that tests are still underway to determine the cause of the whales' deaths, but all the signs seem to point to the disease, which attacks the immune systems of sea mammals and leaves them vulnerable to pneumonia and other infections. At least 14 other humpback whales besides those found dead have washed ashore and become stranded, which is twice the six-year average of seven.
"There are too many unknowns right now," says Teri Rowles, director of NOAA's marine mammal health and stranding response program, as quoted by WP. "We would be concerned if indeed there is an outbreak of this virus in humpback whales causing clinical disease and mortality."
Under normal conditions, whales and other sea mammals that are carriers of morbillivirus never actually come down with the disease, as their immune systems naturally protect them from infection. But this year, rates of infection are much higher than normal, which points to other potential factors of immune susceptibility such as environmental pollution or radiation from Fukushima.
"These animals are normally immune from opportunistic viruses," writes one WP commenter about the situation. "[H]owever, when they [are] injured and stressed, their immune system weakens and falls victim to all sorts of pathogens. The likely culprit is either a toxic chemical or 3D oil surveys in the Gulf of Mexico."
Environmental pollution causing marine mammals to lose their ability to navigate, find food
This same commenter suggests that the affected animals may be suffering from a condition known as sinus barotrauma, which is characterized by damage to their cranial air sacs caused by pressure differences. Since dolphins use these air sacs as acoustic mirrors, affected animals essentially lose their ability to navigate, leaving them unable to feed properly. In the end, their immune systems weaken to the point that they develop an infection and eventually wash ashore dead or severely ill.
"This doesn't surprise me," writes another commenter on the U.K.'s Daily Mail. "Sewerage has been dumping into our oceans every day by the tons. Go back to the old ways, dumping it into the deep earth where it belongs. Imagine a pipeline dumping all those toxins in our air. We'd be sick too."
Other potential factors in the demise of whale and dolphins include things like secret government tests and deep sea oil drilling, both of which can cause long-term damage to delicate marine ecosystems. When one factor is thrown out of balance, or when the toxic onslaught exceeds the capacity of nature to mitigate it, entire ecologies can become susceptible to failure, in this case starting with the most human-like creatures living in our oceans.
"It's BP poisoning, and it's moving from south to north with the Gulf Stream loaded with Corexit — the mask for heavy-metal-laden oil from Deepwater Horizon," opines yet another WP commenter.

My neck and shoulders are creaky. Too much time at the computer getting stuff done like: reorganizing all my files on my external hard drive, writing curriculum for my afterschool program, and catching up on e-mail. And I have a cold. But I am listening to the Juno soundtrack which I love oh so much. And mindlessly surfing the web, jumping on the Facespace, and having mini-dance parties in the living room to Depeche Mode. Yep. Tuesday night dance party. Go celebrate something awesome like the snow.
We Live. We Laugh. We Love. We learn to dance with our experiences. We strive to be connected and find our inner purpose. We come up against life and we are challenged to be present in a changing world. This is a pause in all of that.

Tuesday Night Dance Party
It's Snowmageddon here in Seattle. Got to leave work early today. No school tomorrow. No volunteering. Maybe work from home, maybe walk to the library, hit up a yoga class. The beauty of working with tiny humans is that sometimes the snow gods and snow goddesses come and bless you with a magical day off here and there. It's rare, but it happens.

The first entry in this wonderful little book, and I'm already inspired. I love a clear blue sky adorned with unexpected hot-air balloons. It's one of those sights I always take a moment to enjoy. I can't say that about many things.
If I can't have big bright balloons constantly floating outside my window, I can perhaps bring it indoors. I've seen many versions of a beautiful antique hot air balloon chandelier used on occasion, and I've always loved the bit of whimsy it brings to the space. I would use it above a deep claw-footed tub in a bathroom filled with antiques and Leontine Linens.

Poshs underwear hair solution!December 2nd, 2007 - 12:04 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 02 (ANI): Victoria Beckham employs an innovative technique to style her hair she uses underwear to tie it back.
Ben Cooke, the Spice Girl's hairdresser, revealed that before cutting Victorias hair short, the 33-year-old singer had been using skimpy thongs to hold her ponytail up.
"When she had her extensions she used to tie her hair back with a G-string because she always lost her hairbands, Contactmusic quoted him, as telling Britain's Closer magazine.
They were always clean though!" he added.
Cooke was responsible for the chic bob hairstyle that Posh debuted last year. (ANI)

This is a great base. It is very easy to add things to this dish (broccoli, red bell peppers, asparagus, bacon). But it is also divine just as it is.
One Pan Chicken Alfredo
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- 1 1/4 lb chicken breast (cut into 1″ cubes)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 14 oz chicken broth
- 1 c heavy cream
- 1/2 lb penne noodles (Or whatever you have on hand- fettucini, bow ties, spirals)
- 2 c parmesan cheese (grated)
- Salt, pepper, parsley
- Heat oil in large skillet
- Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, cook until edges have browned
- Add garlic, stir until mixed and thoroughly aromatic.
- Wipe drool from chin (it won't be too much longer, I promise)
- Add broth, cream, and noodles
- Bring to boil, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (or until noodles are al dente)
- Meanwhile, just tie a cloth around your neck to catch the drool. Don't worry, I'm not judging.
- Remove from heat, and stir in the parmesan until melted.
- Sprinkle the parsley on top (adds some pretty color and taste)
- Viola! You've done it! Enjoy, my friend.
See, I told you it was easy! And ooooohhhh so good. Have you made this yet? Have you improved on it?? What other yummy goodies have you added to it? I really wanna know!! Let me know in the comments 🙂

Gas imported from EU to be enough for 2016/2017 heating season, says Naftogaz CEO
Ukraine has accumulated 14.7 billion cubic meters of gas in its storage facilities and plans to import 1.3-1.4 billion cubic meters from the European Union in October. These volumes will be enough for the 2016-2017 heating season.
Andriy Kobolev, Chief Executive Officer of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine said this in an interview with Channel 5, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"There is enough gas [in storages], we've pumped a little more than the initial plan of 14.5 billion cubic meters - 14.7 billion cubic meters. Ukraine currently buys gas only from European directions. And if we continue to buy it from the European direction, we believe it will be enough," Kobolev said.
He also told that Ukraine imports record gas volumes from the EU.
"We expect that in October it will be 1.3-1.4 billion cubic meters. It will be enough for providing consumers with gas," Kobolev noted.

World Mission Sunday is one of the most special days in the global Catholic Church. It unites Catholics all over the world in prayer, mutual friendship and support; both spiritual and material.
Annually, on the penultimate Sunday of October, Mission Sunday is celebrated in every parish around the world. On this day the Universal Catholic Church joins together, through prayer and sharing, in support of dioceses and parishes too poor or young to support themselves.
This year in England and Wales World Mission Sunday focuses its attention on war torn South Sudan and the great efforts being made by the Catholic Church there to foster healing, mercy, peace and hope. On our parent site, Missio.org.uk, you can read about the extraordinary Peace Village, set up in South Sudan by Bishop John Taban.
Following reflection on the World Mission Sunday Gospel, children are encouraged to use their hands to reach out and sow God's love in South Sudan and across the world. Then, together, we can turn the world into a beautiful place, like a flower in bloom.
As part of the worldwide Missio network, Mission Together provides support materials to parishes for World Mission Sunday. The materials include a Children's Liturgy that teaches youngsters about the global mission of the Church and encourages them to remember and pray for their brothers and sisters around the world.
You can download your World Mission Sunday Children's Liturgy from the bottom of the page and can find out more at this year's World Mission Sunday campaign by visiting missio.org.uk/wms2017

Light up cat toy
by admin on 25.04.2018
If light up cat toy continue browsing this site, you agree to our Cookie Usage Policy. Pet supplies at their very best for you!
This nifty hi-tech Trixie toy should keep your cat happy for hours, chasing the dancing red laser dot wherever it twists and turns. I thought I'd try this mouse pointer. The ultimate playful experience, and indispensable for all cat owners! Colour of item may differ from displayed illustration. Playing for long periods of time with an intangible toy does not make for long-lasting fun. This will increase your kitty's chance of success and ensure a more enjoyable experience chasing after the little red dot. The button is much better than other styles since it doesn't "press in" to your finger when continually using.
Please do not use with a dog, it causes a version of ocd. I love sending him here there and everywhere trying to catch that little light. Have a cat that adores chasing after reflections and lights, so thought I'd pick up one of these for her to play with. Initially was excellent but after a few minutes the light seemed to become a little more dull. Tried to use it the next day and the red light comes on but is so weak you can't see it pointed on anything. New batteries cost more than the toy itself, so not worth it.
Jenson is a very active Devon Rex house cat. Despite having lots of things to amuse him, he loves nothing more than interaction with us humans. So much so that he wears us out! Then I saw this and cardiovascular workouts with Jenson are a thing of the past. Thank fully I have an old mouse laser pointer, despite having it for many years it has been well used, tend to use this more often when I want the cats to run up and down the stairs. He is a ball of wool, dressing gown belt, shoelaces kitty and there is no persuading him to use any purpose made cat toys. I've bought these before for my cats and they're usually brilliant, happy cats all round.
However we just bought 2 more, one for us and one for my mother in law. One didn't work at all and the other works when it wants to. We tried new batteries and everything. Not sure whether they're now being made cheaper or we just got unlucky with a dud batch but these ones weren't good at all. Here lives a very tired cat indeed!
My cat absolutely loves this – so much so that just the sound of the mouse's keychain jangling gets him rushing up to me from anywhere in the house. He's an outdoor cat and very energetic, so this is ideal for burning off excess energy when the weather's bad – he'll thunder about chasing the infamous red dot for ages. The mouse itself seems to be good quality, and the laser is bright. Quirky mouse design and brilliant quality! I am really delighted with this item, I had previously purchased a smaller laser pointed on a different website and was very unhappy with the quality so wanted to upgrade. My kitty loves laser pens and similar 'catch the light' interactive toys. The item is a nice size and doesnt look or feel like a cheap production, the mouse shape is very quirky.
The only snag we find is that whenever we pick up the television remote control, we have two cats sitting waiting expectantly! He'll go belting arousn the room in chase of the elusive little red dot. It's also a great way of stopping him climbing up in front of the TV yet again when the football is on! My two cats love this gadget!

Asian Tribune is published by World Institute For Asian Studies|Powered by WIAS Vol. 12 No. 2305
Every day I receive dozens of emails. Most of these emails (at least 30) are about Myanmar's inhuman treatment of the minorities. It is simply depressing to read the sad stories of their extermination, aptly termed the slow-burning genocide by Dr. Maung Zarni, a fellow human rights activist.
What a dramatic week this past one has been in the U.S. capital! After writing about the POTUS last week I had no intention of getting back to Trump politics this week, but given all the hullaballoo, excitement and even the nervousness with all the major news events unfolding, I simply could not ignore revisiting the subject.
On Friday, Sean Spicer, President Trump's spin master, a.k.a. the White House press secretary, resigned after telling President Trump that he vehemently disagreed with his appointment of Anthony Scaramucci, a New York financier, as his new communications director. After offering Scaramucci the job on Friday morning, Trump asked Spicer to stay on as press secretary, reporting to Scaramucci. But Spicer rejected the offer.
I don't know where to begin. In many parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America, the regimes in power are acting like the Pharaohs of the time of Moses (Musa alayhis salam). They feel no accountability and have no remorse for their criminal activities. National wealth is abused and consumed as personal wealth. Their arrogance and criminality knows no bounds. They have enacted laws (often through kangaroo parliaments, and if need be, via kangaroo courts) to empower them so much that they have become the absolute winners where everyone else loses. Naturally, absolute power has corrupted them absolutely.
The two-day annual meeting of the G20—the leaders of the world's 19 wealthiest nations plus the European Union — has wrapped up in Hamburg, Germany with a closing speech from its host. The G-20 comprises Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, France, Britain, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union.
President Donald Trump had an eventful week visiting Saudi Arabia, Israel and some European cities including the Vatican City where he met with the Pope. He was bestowed with the highest civilian/national award in the Kingdom.
There, as brilliantly noted by the veteran journalist Robert Fisk, Trump said he was not in Saudi Arabia to "lecture" – but then told the world's Islamic preachers what to say, condemned "Islamist terrorism" as if violence was a solely Muslim phenomenon and then announced like an Old Testament prophet that he was in "a battle between good and evil".
Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, is approaching fast. Through fasting from dawn to dusk a Muslim experiences hunger and thirst, and sympathizes with those in the world who have little to eat or drink every day. It teaches him/her to be charitable. Through increased charity, Muslims develop feelings of generosity and good-will toward fellow human beings.
Last weekend, April 29, was Donald Trump's 100th day in office as the POTUS. Protest rallies were held in many parts of the USA. Tens of thousands of demonstrators also assembled in the U.S. capital for the latest installment of the regular protests that punctuate the Trump era.
Recently, the Forbes has published the list of world's billionaires. In it for the fourth year in a row, Bill Gates was named the richest man in the world. The number of billionaires increased 13% to 2,043 from 1,810 in 2016; this is the biggest change in over 30 years of tracking billionaires globally.
There is no doubt that the rise of Daesh, which claims to be the new vanguard of the global jihadist movement, and the establishment of its caliphate in Syria and Iraq in the summer of 2014 represents a turning point in the evolution of global terrorism.

>>Indians Top Halos On Walk-Off Grand Slam
(Cleveland, OH) — Edwin Encarnacion's walk-off grand slam in the 11th gave the Indians a wild 11-7 win over the Angels in Cleveland. The Indians blew a 7-0 lead before recovering for their fifth straight win. Bradley Zimmer also launched a grand slam in the victory.
>>Keselowski Sticking With Team Penske
(Undated) — Brad Keselowski is staying with Team Penske. Terms of the contract extension were not disclosed, but the team says Keselowski will be with the team for several years. Keselowski has 22 victories since joining Team Penske in 2010. He captured the Sprint Cup title in 2012 and is sixth in the current standings.

The thing is, where the heck is the snow? Ours has almost melted away from our warmer weather a few weeks ago. Now we have ugly brown patches and plants sticking out from the snow. I fear for my poor garden. Will anything survive the freeze-drying atmosphere? We had a dusting of snow overnight, but not enough to make any real difference, just a nuisance snow. I want real snow, pretty snow that blankets and protects my plants and makes my yard look beautiful. Oh well, we can't control nature, it does what it does. So what's a person supposed to do?
|Regular photo setting
|Enhanced with color levels.
Well, since it's way to cold to go outside, frostbite in five minutes cold, I will catch you up on what I have been doing. I have been messing around with my new camera that I got for Christmas. Trying all sorts of weird settings to see what it will do. Trying to perfect my product photos for my shop. I even pulled out my water colors for a few minutes the other day and painted a snow man. I started working on taxes and organizing receipts and doing inventory for my shop. Which makes me want to cry, I hate that kind of stuff. I've also been paying bills, reading about how to improve my shop, reading all the millions of topics on the Etsy forums. Have you ever looked at all
|product photos
|pinecone reindeer
My poor car is finally out of the shop and after thousands of dollars, I can drive it again. It's still better than a new car payment! Still seeing the bill is a real bummer. The other fun thing I have been doing is trying to figure out how to set up a Google+ account and business page. I have run across of few of you good folks out there. Thanks for your kind comments, I'm glad to know that I am not the only one that finds this new fangled technology somewhat confusing. If you are not familiar with the word "fangled", then you know I am much older than you! Anyway if you are a Google+ enthusiast please "Circle" me and "Plus" me and pass my shop page around to your friends that might be interested in my stuff. It is on the right side of the page, just under my bio.
|etsy type look
I plussed myself, I'm sure that is against Google+ etiquette! Also sometime soon, I am going to do a give-away of something from my shop or inventory. I still haven't decided yet what that will be. I'm still making it through everyone's blogs, if I haven't been there to visit lately, I apologize. I will get there eventually. Meanwhile I will be trying to work myself out of the winter-weary-doldrums!

text: On March 28, 2016, a Massachusetts District Court ruled that two affiliated private equity funds (Sun Capital Partners Fund III, LP and Sun Capital Partners Fund IV, LP) were jointly and severally liable for the unfunded vested benefits owed to a multiemployer pension fund by its bankrupt portfolio company, Scott Brass, Inc. In 2013, the First Circuit ruled that a private equity fund can be a "trade or business" for purposes of ERISA, which struck a blow at the private equity industry's first line of defense to avoiding pension plan withdrawal liability. Now, on remand, the District Court ruled that the two funds cannot avoid ERISA pension liability, even though the two funds split ownership of a company 70%/30% (that is, with neither fund owning the threshold 80% required by the ERISA statute). The court found that the economic reality was that the Sun Capital Funds together formed a partnership-in-fact that owned 100% of the portfolio company and thus are liable for the entire ERISA pension liability.1

Riffe Lake might be Southwest Washington's hottest place to fish.
The Lewis County lake is attracting hordes of anglers seeking out the lake's current abundance of land-locked silver salmon.
Sockeye salmon fishing opens today on the Columbia River. Also on the Columbia, the white sturgeon fishery is being extended 15 more days.
Local lake fishing has warmed up with the rise in temperatures.
American: Fishing for kokanee has been good, said David Anderson of Bill's Boathouse. "They're 33 feet down so you'll need a downrigger, leaded line or weighted line," Anderson said. Kokanee are ranging from 10 to 20 inches. From the dock, anglers are catching lots of perch and smallmouth bass.
Alder: Plenty of fish but they're not biting, said one local angler. Water level is high.
Riffe: It's elbow-to-elbow on the fishing bridge as anglers are targeting land-locked silver salmon. "People are limiting between an hour and an hour and a half," said Arne Lund of Tacoma Power Taidnapam Park. "It's almost too good." Lund said anglers are using pieces of cocktail shrimp that should first be heated to toughen them and keep them on the hook. The fish are averaging 18-20 inches, he said. The limit is five.
Kapowsin: "People went out today (Friday) and got limits," said Harry Erickson of Erickson Boat Rentals. The key to catch trout, Erickson, is to troll slowly, not too fast. Most anglers are trolling with worms or spoons tipped with a worm. A 2.5-pound rainbow trout was caught last weekend.
Offut: The warmer weather has brought hotter fishing to this Tenino lake. Some anglers are catching trout in the 2-pound range, said Rob Pogue of Offut Lake Resort.
Spanaway: Trout anglers are catching some limits both trolling and still-fishing, said Bud Herlitzka of Spanaway Lake Boathouse. Fish are running between 12-16 inches with some brown trout showing in the catch. Power Bait is working best for still fishing. Trollers are using flies, lures and worms.
Columbia: Anglers will get a chance to catch sockeye in the Columbia starting today. The recreational fishery was opened after the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife increased its projections of the Columbia sockeye run based on recent counts at Bonneville Dam.
A preseason forecast of 125,200 sockeye is now expected to double. Anglers may catch sockeye on the Columbia from the Astoria-Megler Bridge upstream to Priest Rapids Dam. Daily limit for adult sockeye is two. The sockeye fishery will last through July 31.
Also on the Columbia, the white sturgeon fishery was extended for 15 days beginning Sunday. That fishery extends from the river mouth upstream to the Wauna power lines near Cathlamet.
Cowlitz: The water is high and clear with visibility 12 to 14 feet, said Karen Glaser of Barrier Dam Campground. The water was running at 10,100 cubic feet per second Friday, Glaser said.
Green: Slow for steelhead but pretty good for sea-run cutthroat, said Mike Harry of Auburn Sports and Marine. Anglers are using spinners for cutthroat. He said steelhead fishing typically picks up by mid-July.
Kalama: River is clear and high, said Wayne Orzel of Pritchard's Western Angler said, adding that he's never seen so much water at the end of June in 25 years on the river. So expect the steelhead to be spread out, he said.
Tacoma: Fishing for chinook salmon remains slow with extreme shifts in tides probably playing a role, said Art Tachell of Point Defiance Boathouse Marina. "It usually scatters the fish," said Tachell, adding that tides will start to level out Sunday, improving fishing conditions. He said anglers should get to the boat ramp early this weekend because of traffic for the Taste of Tacoma.
South Sound: Not a lot of salmon anglers but plenty of happy crabbers, said Bill Carr of Zittel's Johnson Point Marina in Olympia. Crabbing opened June 18 in South Sound. He said the Dungeness are good size and there have been no reports of soft-shell issues.
Westport: Chinook salmon fishing is fair with anglers averaging about one fish per person, said Lindsey Green of Westport Charters.
Anglers can catch chinook each day till Wednesday. Coho season begins July 4 and is open Sundays through Thursdays.

According to the Washington Post, 2/4/17, some groups are targeting the Democrats from the reddest states in order to interfere with opposition to Scott Pruitt, as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Mr. Pruitt has a record of suing the EPA and working closely with the big oil companies. American Rising Squared is a trump allied organization that is planning TV ads to pressure the following democratic senators:
Joe Donnelly (Indiana) 202-224-4814
Claire McCaskill (Missouri) 202-224-6154
John Tester (Montana) 202-224-2644
Heidi Heitkamp (ND) 202-224-2043
Joe Manchin III (WV) 202-224-3954
To combat this pressure it would be advisable for concerned citizens to call these senators and ask them to vote against Scott Pruitt for Administrator of the EPA. In addition, please call senators in your own state. If you know anyone residing in the above states, please contact them concerning this issue. Thanks!

Turn, The Journal of an Artist
By Anne Truitt
Viking, 218 pages, $19.95
This second volume of published journals of artist Ann Truitt covers two years, providing highly detailed coverage of her emotional terrain at a time
--she`s in her mid-60s--when old age and death are major preoccupations.
``Turn`` makes a real contribution to the genre of artists` journals, which since Cellini`s have used self-examination in writing as a means to enrich one`s work; as such, this volume provides yet another revelation of the complexities of artistic creation and the peculiar sensibility of the artist. Truitt feels a great camaraderie with fellow artists past and present, especially with the great journal writer Delacroix of whom she writes, ``he could be my brother.``
In their passionate concern for formal values, artists have created what almost amounts to a secret society, the rites of which center around the hidden language of form, a realm not accessible to ordinary mortals.
Anne Truitt writes, ``I realize how few people can read meaning into the visual syntax of art,`` perhaps expressing some concern about the extreme nature of her own abstract art.
In this volume we come to see Truitt as a near-perfect prototype of the artistic personality, replete with cries of her own smallness, her
irrelevance, and insignificance, which is why art assumes such a psychological necessity. She feels a total identification of her self with the physical object she creates and the process that went into that creation; her art translates her into visibility and provides the home she cannot find elsewhere.
This makes poignant reading indeed, so honest and forceful is the expression of her feelings.
``Turn`` is a powerful document of a vulnerable personality. It is the tale of a woman who exhibits far more of a traditionally feminine than feminist consciousness, that marvelous carapace that has provided some psychic protection for many women. This book is therefore closer in spirit to Anne Morrow Lindbergh`s inspirational writing than to the hard-headed journals of Simone de Beauvoir.
Anne Truitt, a minimalist artist whose painted aluminum sculptures were exhibited in Chicago in 1983, has no interest in politics, nor any real interest in the larger social context outside of her immediate family, her children, grandchildren and close friends.
Although delighting in many aspects of domesticity and the lives of her family members, her sadness seeps through in the continual plaint of the transcience of our bodily existence, the effect of aging on mind and body, and the omnipresence of death.
Perhaps her depression resulted in part from the recent suicide of her former husband, the journalist James Truitt with whom she is obviously still very much in love.
Cryptically if aptly titled, ``Turn`` is synonymous with change and transition, of the seasons (seasons create the only chapter divisions), of life`s stages, of one`s sensibilities, of one`s body, as time ebbs away.
For all its penchant for philosophical rationalizing, the book lacks the primary gift thought and philosophy should offer--humor, if only a grim cheer in the face of reality.

Bad Company Tickets
The English rock supergroup (in which every member is famous from other associations) Bad Company achieved success in '73 with the singles, "Bad Company," "Can't Get Enough," "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" and "Feel Like Makin' Love." They are still heard on classic rock radio.
In '05, the DVD, "Inside Bad Company" was released. A limited edition of the first Bad Company was released as well, but it took a year to find the master tapes. A 2011 budget live release features extended versions of the 2010 tour.

Vuelta a Espana highlights will be on ITV4
ITV4 will be showing highlights of the Vuelta a Espana (the Tour of Spain) each night. Saturday's episode is on at 10pm as it inexplicably makes way for 'World Series of Darts'. After that, it'll mostly be in its usual 7pm slot with each programme available online via the ITV Player shortly afterwards.
They don't seem to be covering the race live at all, but even so this is good news. The highlights show is extremely good and it'll be much easier to avoid hearing or reading about stage results before broadcast than with the Tour.
If you're a casual cycling fan, I urge you to give the Vuelta a go. It's an easier race to follow as the points and mountains classifications seem so much less significant than at the Tour. Most years, there's action in the general classification almost every day, on top of which this year's field is very strong – almost a 'best of the Giro and the Tour' line-up.
So set the highlights on 'series record' and also subscribe to get emails from this site. It's a race to be enjoyed, so I ain't going to be stressing myself out trying to cover ever stage. Expect a weekly round-up kind of thing instead.
The race starts on Saturday.
This is an updated version of last year's article about UK TV coverage of the Vuelta a Espana.

Have you ever wondered what it takes for a 'bro' to become a 'hoe'? (Hoe standing for Heinous Overzealous Eyesore)
While the very idea might seem alien to you, seeing how you're still rocking it with your bro of 20 years, believe me when I say this.
Not all 'bros' are, to put it bluntly, real.
On 10 October 2017, Facebook user Soon Wei Chiang published a rather derogatory post on the social media site.
Caption: Please beware of this guy Xiao Andy. Let see the difference Before lending him and after lending him. Left balance 100$ also Wan run. Lack of responsibility and worst attitude.
Apart from the fact that the other guy's name is Xiao Andy, it just intrigues the 'kay-poh' king in you. What exactly happened?
And we proceeded to scroll through the images.
Things started out well enough. Mr 'F**king Piece of Shit', ex-name Xiao Andy, had asked Soon for a favour: a $300 loan.
Being a real bro, Soon agreed to lend Xiao Andy the amount. This despite the fact that he didn't sound very well-off himself.
Aww, a heart. So sweet. #bromance
And that, guys, was the start of a long-running, torrid relationship revolving around lies, deceit, betrayals, hatred and literal tornadoes.
And after a long bit of flirting, the money has finally changed hands.
All the thumbs up emojis are making me tear up.
It seems that during this lapse in time, Xiao Andy had returned $200.
Even Soon, an evidently tolerant man, was getting kinda antsy.
Warning: the following image contains insane amounts of pent-up rage and 18+ content. Scroll to the bottom if you're a kid still drinking milk, or if you suffer from EOS (Easily Offended Syndrome).
Oh you're still here? Orh-hor, I'm gonna tell your mum.
On a serious note, you know what they say: "Never drive a nice guy into a corner."
It releases their darkest thoughts, and manifests them in reality.
To be fair, Xiao Andy was trying to find a job (at least according to him).
Never mind the fact that he ignored Soon for a few days without any valid reason.
Rule no. 1 of the bro book: never bring your mums into the equation.
It's just impolite.
Yaya Papaya.
Sorry, please continue.
Very unless, indeed.
And that, folks, was the end of the movie: From Bros to Hoes. I hope you enjoyed it, and please leave a 5-star rating on their official site brostohoes fakebros!
The complete and utter disintegration of a once beautiful 'bro' relationship.
This whole drama proved one thing. He might be your bro for now. But that doesn't mean he will be your bro forever.
Hah, long-lasting bro relationships?
More like long-lasting hoe relationships.
At the end of the day, not all bros become hoes
There's still a light at the end of the tunnel.
For there are bros out there who continue to contravene the policy, "Hoes over Bros".
Like this pair.
So rest assured, bros out there. One example won't pollute your beautiful friendships.
So guys, stay…
But…just one thing to add.
When you lend anyone money, even if it's a bro, consider the money gone. #lifetip
'Coz people are often quick to borrow and slow to return. If they ever return at all, that is.

HA NOI — Viet Nam's Le Huynh Chau will compete with the No 2 seed Wei Chen Yang from Chinese Taipei in the first match of the men's taekwondo 58kg category tomorrow in the London Olympics.
Despite being the Asian Games defending champion, Yang lost to Chau twice in two recent tournaments. The first was at a Olympic qualifier in Thailand last year and the second was at the Asian Taekwondo Championships in HCM City in May.
If Chau wins the first match, his next rival will be the winner of a clash between the No 7 seed Alexey Denisenki of Russia and Heiner Oviedo of Costa Rica.
According to Truong Ngoc De, the head of Viet Nam's taekwondo team, if Chau maintains his perfect performance during training, he will have chance to enter the semi-finals – the target set up for the team before the London Games.
On the women's side, Chu Hoang Dieu Linh will meet No 6 seed Helena Fromm of Germany in the first round match of the 67kg class.
Linh will compete on Friday.
"Chau and Linh trained hard during their one week in France and arrive London on Sunday. They have adjusted well to the local climate and have become familiar with the competition mat," said De.
"In my opinion I think Chau has the best chance of the two," he said. — VNS

Collector Background
Hello, my name is Stanley Panenka. The following is a little background about myself, and how this collection came to be.
I have lived in California for over forty years. I went to college in Sacramento and received a Masters degree in Computer Science at Sacramento State University. I currently am retired after working twenty years as a Computer Programmer Analyst for the state of California.
Beginning in 1988, my goal was to put together a collection of the finest existing examples of all rare and important American Beatles records. Ultimately, it would be recognized as being the finest quality American Beatles record collection known in the hobby! In 1996, I acquired a few more very rare albums. Upon acquisition of those extremely rare albums, these dealers said that I had succeeded in putting together "THE FINEST QUALITY AMERICAN BEATLES RECORD COLLECTION THAT IS KNOWN BY THEM IN THE HOBBY", and I haven't stopped yet!
The ONLY REASON why I would sell THE world's best Beatles Record Collection is to enable me to purchase THE "Dream Home" for my dear mom, who is 90 years old. SHE IS THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD AND SHE DESERVES IT!

Pleasure Reading: Saga
If it wasn't completely obvious, I'm a bit of a geek and I consume media like a black hole.
In my profession I do a lot of reading, from journal articles to conference proceedings to monographs to blog posts to student assignments. Still, I find it absolutely necessary to pleasure read for some portion of the day, normally at night before bed. Some people call that self-care but, for me, it's just part of my daily routine. I don't think of it as some cordoned-off activity that I have to schedule in order to stay sane. I just enjoy reading. I focus more on the work/life balance than self-care. Lifting weights and eating sensibly is self-care; pleasure reading is just fun. Maybe that's what self-care really is. Anyway.
Sadly, I've been at a loss for something new to read lately. That's not to say I don't have anything on my to-read list. Far from it. For example, I currently have bookmarks in the following:
- Jenni Fagan's The Panopticon
- Ian Banks' The Wasp Factory
- Katherine Dunn's Geek Love: A Novel
- Andrzej Sapkowski's Blood of Elves
And that's just what's on my bedside table.
Beyond these novels, I've been searching for a comic or manga or graphic novel to really sink my teeth into for a while, now. I finished reading Preacher. Finished The Boys. Finished re-reading Frankenfran and Claymore and everything by Junji Ito. Then I saw the cosmically funny Johnny Vegas on the Naval Navigation episode of QI (below).
I should mention that I am always thrilled when Johnny is on QI. He has always been and continues to be one of my favorite guests.
As an aside, regarding the regime change in QI and the replacement of Stephen Fry, who retired, by Sandi Toksvig, I was initially a tad concerned. Sandi is wonderful but I wasn't sure she would be able to fill his shoes in terms of fostering the same kind of atmosphere on the show. I'm happy to report that Sandi has shown herself to not only be a brilliant, capable leader and host, but in some ways the show is even better now. I will miss Stephen terribly but I'm not sad at all. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
What's that on his shirt? I thought. At first, I thought it was Noodle from the band Gorillaz. Then I noticed that her entrails are hanging out. Not Noodle, then. I finished the episode and thought nothing more of for a couple days and, while lamenting my lack of reading material, that image popped back into my mind.
That looks like something from a comic book and not just some random character on a t-shirt, I thought. Like something from Alabaster: Wolves. A little bit of Googling and I discovered it to be a character from a comic series I'd heard of but never explored. Turns out it's Izabel from the Saga series by the imminently talented Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples.
I started reading up on the comic series and decided that, yup, that would be next on my list. I'm about two-thirds done with the first volume and am thoroughly enjoying it so far. The artwork, especially, is phenomenal. To be fair, I'm more of a manga reader than a comic book reader, so getting something in full color is a rare treat for me.
I will admit, though, that I sometimes have a hard time getting the image of Canti from FLCL out of my mind during scenes with Prince Robot IV. Not that that's a bad thing, necessarily. It just makes me want to revisit FLCL.
Regardless, I'm really looking forward to digging into the 42-issues available right now. I'm also always looking for more comics like this, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. You can start reading Saga yourself by picking up Volume 1.

NEW Forest Cycling Club was victorious again in the annual inter-club competition against Southampton's Crabwood CC winning both first and second legs.
Crabwood fielded a severely depleted team of just three of the half-dozen required for the second round. That problem was compounded when on-form veteran Dave England punctured and retired at about half distance in the 10-mile time trial on the Beaulieu Road/Ipley Cross loop on a soggy Tuesday evening.
Forest riders filled the top six positions, ably led by Gary Lock who clocked 22-08, just 14 seconds away from his personal best set just the previous week.
Visitor Ollie Hitchings (Peter Hansford Racing) was second overall with 22-40 and Ben Boardman took third, but more importantly was second in the New Forest team, with 23-03.
GA Cycles' Ray Claridge was fourth overall with 23-18. He was followed by three other New Forest team counters: Chris Grant (24-36), juvenile Hugo Walters (24-37) and James Bannister (24-49).
Southampton Tri Club's Mike Zollo was eighth overall with 24-54 and Geri Robinson completed the winning squad with 25-07.
Forest riders Rob Brinsdon and Howard Doe filled the next two slots with 25-13 and 25-15, unattached rider Alistair Rogers was 12th with 25-19 followed by Crabwood's first counter, Pat Lafford, with 25-21.
Other times (NFCC unless stated): Peter Bolke (Sholing All Stars) 25-24, Dan Mitchell 25-49, Joe Phillips 25-51, Nick Williams 26-08, Tom Butler 26-12, Hugh Roper 26-17, Richard Rajski 26-23, Richard Mason 26-44, Gary Plumb 27-42, Andy Evans (unattached) 27-29, Tom Smith (Soton University RC) 27-33, Ryan Blake (Soton Tri Club) 28-12, Steve Gordon (unattached) 28-13, Andy Stevens (Crabwood CC) 28-22, Geoff Weller and Rosie Hillary (Soton TC) tied with 28-32 and , Chris Mills 28-37, Chris Summers (Sotonia CC) 28-54, Donna Shaw 29-10, Phil Jones 29-41, Ryan Seed 29-44, Pete Hawker 29-51, Martin Balk 30-14.
New Forest CC won the first leg with 23 points and the second with 21 against Crabwood's 55 and 57.
Konnor completes End-to-End ahead of schedule
New Forest CC juvenile Konnor Bracher-Walsh and his uncle Dug Hickin completed their arduous 960-mile Land's End John O'Groats charity ride with more than two hours in hand over their 72-hour target.
Konnor emailed the following message back to Hampshire: "Just to let you know we finished the ride yesterday morning in 69 hours and 23 minutes. That's 2hr 37min ahead of schedule.
"Very tired and there's not one part of our bodies that don't hurt, but it was worth it in the end."
Konnor is raising money for the University of Cambridge Veterinary School Trust and his uncle for the Go Commando charity.
Calendar change
Club president and racing secretary Roger Bacon wants to remind all members that next Tuesday's 25 has been rescheduled as a 30 with the earlier start time of 6.45pm. Event headquarters are still North Kingston triangle, south of Ringwood.
Phil Harris is organising this, ideally aimed at novices or slower riders. See the events page!
Saturday ride report 11th August This weeks club ride was kept within the forest. Total of 15 riders, made up of regulars and some welcome newcomers. A lot of regular riders were on holiday. Ride went out via Mill Lane as Balmer Lawn was closed, presumably flooded after Fridays rain. Total of 114Km taking in […]

The club now feels quite established and would like to thank the following
organisations for their help. So, thank you to:
William Rhodes Primary School in Chesterfield for lending us their tables
to help get the club started in November last year.
The Foundation Derbyshire 'Embrace' fund for providing funding towards the
cost of new tables and equipment.
Cllr Jennifer Bower, and the Derbyshire Dales District Council Local
Projects Fund for also providing funding towards the cost of new tables and
Markovitz for lending us Fred and a van to return the tables we borrowed to
And, Matt Clark for designing our club logo.
It says a lot about the area and our community that within 3 months, we've
managed to set up the club from scratch and now have players of all ages
and ability involved.
Club evenings are informal even though we recently benefited from our first
coaching session.
It doesn't matter if there's rain or snow, we meet each Thursday from 7.00
– 8.30 at BP School and usually continue in the George afterwards.
So why not give it a go?
